Johnnie Cochran For Pooh

Johnnie Cochran has been hired by the family who owns Winnie the Pooh rights in their fight with Disney over millions in royalties.

October 11, 2003: Stephen Slesinger Inc., the company suing the Walt Disney Company over royalties from Winnie-the-Pooh merchandise, is looking for new lawyers for the second time this year.

They have had at least seven teams of lawyers during the 12-year-old case. The company, owned by the Slesinger family, which controls the rights to the Pooh children's books, dropped its most recent lawyers because their fees were too high. [Musical Chairs in Disney Suit]
